A Woman's Plight, Male Bonding

Given

One of the suitors approached her gently and asked her to re-engage with him.

“I can’t. I’m sorry,” she replied immediately.

“But how can you know that he’ll come back for you? Don’t you think that’s too big of a risk to take while you are left here alone without answers, just waiting?”

“I know, I know the wayt this can go – but I can’t do anything other than to do what I’m doing, now that he lives inside of me.”

A Night’s Flying

She had brought her walking sticks, planning to keep head high and stature elegant – but in the rush to don final pieces and help get them all through the throngs to the ADA window, she’d forgotten them.

Yet, somehow, she found her legs were working in tandem as they carried her with careful, determined purpose, gliding and turning on heals as needed.

Her magic had arrived to support her.

Funny how when it was over, her body went back to being injured.

A Woman's Plight, Reclamation

You Fit Me

This is it, the place where the tears flow
I guess that’s when one can know again

When you find someone who’s heartbeat
Takes you where you’d not choose to go

If knew what was good for your survival
Where the bodies of broken dreams rot

In shadows of past potentials’ haunting
Tormented by disillusionment of lovers

Too toxic to remember their humanity
And that we’re here to reclaim destiny

A Woman's Plight, Where Demons Tread

Dear Friend,

This is what I want
Something between

Our hearts that is ours
No one may take away

Because our instincts
Remain pure-attuned

And if we falter we lift
Each other’s spirits up

Redefining vision of
Desired loving unity

Be my guiding believer
Be my daily adventure

For I am weak without
The strength you give

Grant me comfort in
Heat of your shelter

Without which I only
Dream of life to begin
